There is a common misconception in the endurance world that a plant-based diet is a compromise. At Journey Endurance, we view it as a strategic advantage.

As a coach with a Masters in Kinesiology and a specialized background in Sport & Performance Psychology, I don't just provide meal plans—I provide a psychophysiological roadmap for the vegan athlete.
Transitioning to or maintaining a vegan lifestyle while training for Ironman, ultramarathons, or HYROX requires more than just "eating more plants." It requires a technical understanding of:
Optimizing protein synthesis and micronutrient absorption (Iron, B12, Zinc) to match high-intensity training loads.
Leveraging the high-antioxidant nature of a plant-based diet to accelerate recovery cycles and reduce systemic stress.
Precision carbohydrate loading and fueling strategies tailored to the unique digestive profile of whole-food, plant-based athletes.
Choosing a path that differs from the mainstream requires a specific mental framework. Our coaching integrates Performance Psychology to help you navigate:
Managing the external pressures and "protein myths" encountered in the athletic community.
Connecting your ethical "Why" to your physical "How" to build a deeper well of resilience during the darkest miles of your race.
We don't guess; we measure. Your journey is monitored through the same rigorous lens as any laboratory study:
Ensuring your caloric intake supports your physiological demands without the "vegan fatigue" common in unguided transitions.
Utilizing .FIT file analysis and TSS (Training Stress Score) to ensure your plant-based fueling is translating into measurable power and pace gains.
Matching your nutrition to your specific training block—whether you are in the "Base" building phase or the "Peak" sharpening for race day.
Based in Victoria, BC, I work with local and remote athletes who want to prove that peak performance and plant-based living aren't just compatible—they are a powerhouse combination.
